The entertainer is teaming up with restaurant group Family Style Inc. to launch Pizzaoki, a restaurant that will offer pizza lovers around the country innovative pies through delivery (with plans for a retail flagship location).

“I’m so excited to finally launch Pizzaoki,” the star, 40, tells PEOPLE exclusively about his new venture. “If you know me, you know I love pizza and I love technology so coming up with a concept in which I could tie both of those components together was a piece of cake!”

Aoki decided to launch the restaurant first in Los Angeles because “it’s a part of me,” he says. “We are starting off with five kitchens that will service 16 greater L.A. areas.”
